Sacramento
Sacramento runs on rivers, a streetcar grid, and a canopy planted a century ago. Start east of downtown, where East Sacramento wraps around McKinley Park and the numbered streets of the Fabulous Forties.
Metro Snapshot
East Sacramento sets the first comparison point. Its median sale price of $775,000 (Homes.com, last 12 months, October 2026) sits about 52 percent above the Redfin city median of $508,258 (September 2026), because the neighborhood trades canopy, lot size, and a park at its center for newness. Downtown is about 4 miles away, Sacramento State sits next door to the east, and the American River Parkway runs along the north edge.
